• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HUFUNCTIONS158 - Changing HUs to HU stor.loc.only possible if head.stor.loc. is HU-managed ?

  The SAP error message HUFUNCTIONS158 indicates that you are trying to change handling units (HUs) to a storage location that is configured to manage handling units (HU-managed), but the head storage location is not set up to manage HUs. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management or inventory management processes where handling units are used to manage stock.
  Cause:
  The error arises due to the following reasons:
  
  Storage Location Configuration: The head storage location (the location from which you are trying to move or change the handling units) is not configured to manage handling units. This means that the system does not recognize it as an HU-managed location.
  Inconsistent HU Management Settings: There may be inconsistencies in the configuration of the storage locations involved in the handling unit process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Location Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage location in question.
  Ensure that the head storage location is set to be HU-managed. This can typically be done in the configuration settings of the Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) module.
  
  
  
  Adjust Handling Unit Management Settings:
  
  If the head storage location should be HU-managed, you may need to adjust the settings in the relevant configuration area (e.g., SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Handling Unit Management -> Define Storage Locations for Handling Units).
  Make sure that the storage location is correctly defined to handle HUs.
  
  
  
  Review Movement Types:
  
  Check the movement types being used for the transfer or change of handling units. Ensure that they are compatible with HU-managed processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific configuration steps related to handling units and storage locations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs when attempting to change handling units.
